Jovian, the lemur made famous for teaching children about animals on the show Zoboomafoo, has died at age 20.

The Duke Lemur Center in Durham, N.C., where Jovian lived, said Tuesday that the Coquerel's sifaka lemur died of kidney failure. Fans of the show, created by brothers Martin and Chris Kratt, shared remembrances of the animal on the lemur centre's Facebook page.
